SPATIAL COMPUTING DESIGN
2023 – Present
As part of the Input and Interaction Design team, I drive consistency and quality across input modalities on the Meta Quest platform and third-party SDKs. I lead the exploration and productization of spatial input systems—including hands, eyes, voice, controllers, stylus, gamepad, mouse, virtual and physical keyboards, and microgestures—to enable seamless, multimodal interaction across the ecosystem.
Focus Areas
• Spatial input & interactions for Meta Horizon OS / Quest products
• Interaction SDK / Presence Platform
• Peripherals / 3rd party input modalities
• Meta Horizon OS UI Set
• MR / Input & Interaction Design Guidelines
• Experimental Input Modalities

2015 – 2023
As part of the Mixed Reality Design team, I led design efforts for the developer and creator ecosystem, with a focus on the open-source Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK). Collaborating closely with technical designers and engineers, I helped define and deliver core spatial interaction patterns and UI controls for Mixed Reality platforms.
With a background in engineering and hands-on experience publishing apps across multiple platforms, I bring a deep empathy for both developers and creators. I supported the team’s design vision by refining visual and interaction designs, building illustrative example scenes using foundational building blocks, and authoring comprehensive design and technical guidelines.
Focus Areas
• Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK)
• Mixed Reality Design Labs
• Mixed Reality Documentation
• Common UX building blocks
• Mixed Reality Tutorials
• Design/Developer Evangelism
• Partner Company Engagement
• Internal & External Tools Design
